Question

if a investor wanted to combine 3/4 acre Parcels with 1.6 acre partial how big will the partial be expressed as a decimal

Answer 1

To find the size of the combined parcel, you will convert the 3/4 to a decimal.

You can divide 3 and 4 to get 0.75 or you could create equivalent ratios with a denominator of 100.

3 = 75
4 100

This equals 0.75.

Now add 0.75 and 1.6

1.60
+0.75
2.35

The new parcel is 2.35 acres.

Answer 2

2.35 acre

Explanation:

`1.6=(16)/(10)\\\Rightarrow 1.6=(8)/(5)`

Add
`(3)/(4)` to
`(8)/(5)`

`(3)/(4)+(8)/(5)`

Taking Lowest Common Multiple, we get

`\\=(15+32)/(20)\\=(47)/(20)\\=(47)/(2* 10)\\=(4.7)/(2)\\=2.35`

∴ The size of the partial will be 2.35 acre
